Prenant Soon After Giving Birth
I gave birth to my son a little over 3 months ago and have just taken a home pregnancy test that came back positive...what are some of the risks of conceiving so early? A friend told me that there may be a higher possibility of a miscarriage....after three months is there any possibility that the test was a false positive? I'm not having morning sickness or any other symptoms but i am having a repeated dull ache on my right side... I have an appointment at my doctor in a week and a half....

Every pregnancy is different. No morning sickness is a good thing! I would try to get in to the doc sooner. The dull ache worries me.
My younger two are 19 months apart. I really don't remember any problems I had with chasing a toddler and her older sister while I was pregnant with the third. I guess I have Mom Amnesia. :)
Congratulations and good luck.

I had three kids in three years. If your body and mind can handle it. It can be done. Good luck.

There is no increased risk of miscarriage. Mainly the risk is to you in terms of depleting your body. It's important to make sure you eat very well and take care of your body. Ideal spacing is usually at least a year, but there is no reason that you won't have a healthy pregnancy. My oldest was 8 months old when I got pregnant with my next child.

Hi, Mine are 15 months apart. My daughter will be 4 soon and son 3 soon. They play together so nicely and have so much fun! My daughter got her first babydoll at 8 months old and patted it on the back and gave it kisses. She was so ready for her brother by the time she was 15 months old. She loved bringing me diapers or wipes to help with her little brother and loved holding the bottle to help feed him. She used to be the only one that could make him get that belly laugh. It's nice because you will have them in the double stroller together for quite a while - twins 3 months apart. Good luck to you! The pregnancy with my son went smoothly but I do remember getting quite tired near the end of the pregnancy with having my daughter still not wanting to sleep through the night and then chasing her around during the day. I did hire a mother's helper for a couple hours three days a week for the last month because I felt so bad that I wasn't able to take her to the park every day. So, I had my little mothers helper take her for walks down the street to the park and play with her. So, that would be one suggestion - near the end of the pregnancy - hire a mother's helper or have a friend or family member come over for a couple of hours here or there so that you can take a nap.

One of my friends got pregnant 10 weeks after she had her first. She did fine. She researched it and learned that it is harder on you than the baby. So, go to your doctor and make sure everything is ok. Good luck, and Congratulations!

Hi my second and third child are only 14 months apart. It's hard but worth it. The dull pain could be gall stones, and you may need to get that removed. Ask your doctor about that. I had pain after my first child and thats what it was. Shortly after I had to have it removed. Ask your doctor just in case, bc it could get painful. Congrats on the new baby. Good Luck....

K., the dull ache on the right concerns me..go see your MD, in case it's a tubal..Otherwise, the deed is done, do the best you can. Eat right, sleep as much as you can. Try not to develop habits in your new baby that will hurt you when you have two. I mean, put baby down for a nap when it's nap time, droopy eyes and being up for hours are clues, LOL..Try to help yourself before you really will need help. My oldest two were 20 months apart and i dont recall it being so bad, it was actually really great! Enjoy!
